    Chris, for me this experience for you shows how much respect you have from Gatwick Airport. You have always shown them respect and I too would like to thank everyone who arranged for you to have Air Side Access. Amazing footage or as you love to say, and I agree 100% “Beautiful”. Loved seeing the footage from the Tug. Chris you have built your channel which is Respected by all those who work at Airports and your members. I’m 75 now, loved Aviation since I was 10 but my enthusiasm has got even more stronger since joining your channel. Of course Heathrow, Stansted and London City Airports also respect your channel. Great Video.

    Hello Chris. I worked for BAA in Airport Operations from 1969 until August 2000 when I took early retirement. Great days.. Originally based top of the main office building in those 3 large glass windows where it says "Welcome to Gatwick" where we did all the stand allocations. Later on the airfield in the Leader Vehicles runway inspections etc.. Good old days of DanAir and Laker , British Caledonian etc with Comets, B707 , Dc8, VC10 , Bac1-11 and many more.. A lot has changed now at Gatwick but happy memories. Love following your streams mate.. Keep them going 👍

    G'day Chris. Wow what great footage. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. You deserve it Chris. Your channel is my favourite of all the aviation ones. You have worked so hard and built a lovely community. I always enjoying having chats with the others who follow you when ever I am able to catch your lives which is not all the time with the time difference between the UK and NZ. Have a great week.

    Amazing Chris, the Trust and RESPECT you have earned from the Air travel Industry is totally warranted.
    You go out of your way to entertain us, and you really deserve days like this. Well done mate and what a great insight that we would never see as enthusiasts.
    When we saw the inside of the 787 I couldn't see the Big Red button that says 'DO NOT PRESS' you know the one Dougal saw in that Father Ted Episode 🤣 ....... Brilliant Chris
